Recent reports have revealed that a woman has been compensated with £1m from an NHS trust. It has been reported that the woman’s tumor was undiagnosed, due to which she grew up to 6ft 5ins.

During the hearing of the case at High Court, it was declared that Kate Woodward, who is 20 years old, felt herself to be out of this world, someone strikingly unusual and also had to face major medical problems.

Ms. Woodward said, “My pituitary gland, which went untreated between October 2001 and September 2005, led to excessive growth, bone abnormality and a host of psychological consequences”.

It has been recovered that a legal case was filed by the woman against Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. During the proceedings at the court, she highlighted the treatment that she was subjected to at St James's University Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary.

Her counsel Stephen Grime QC asserted that the decision should be made on the basis that the negligence has ruined the life of the woman.

The trust stated that they admit that the young woman was neglected and was provided with the proper treatment. However, they were reluctant in paying the amount demanded.

The trust affirmed that they would pay an amount near about £700,000, but they had to pay near about £1.2m to Ms Woodward.
